Boost to savings and accelerated growth for Developed India
“This is a budget which fulfills the dreams of our people. We have opened many sectors for the youth. Common citizens are going to drive the mission of Viksit Bharat. This budget is a force multiplier. This budget will increase savings, investment, consumption, and growth. I congratulate Smt Nirmala Sitharaman and her entire team for coming up with a people-centric budget,” the PM said.
He mentioned that usually, the focus of a budget is on how to fill the government’s treasury, but this budget is completely different. It is focused on how to fill the pockets of the citizens, how to increase their savings, and how the citizens will actively participate in the nation’s development.
“Usually the focus of the budget is on how the government treasury will be filled, but this budget is exactly the opposite of that. How will this budget fill the pockets of the citizens of the country, how will the savings of the citizens of the country increase and how will the citizens of the country become partners in development… this budget lays a very strong foundation for this,” he added.
